Israel Carries Out 17 Overnight Strikes in Lebanon, Destroys Offices of Al Mayadeen News Station
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel is continuing its assault on Lebanon, carrying out 17 attacks on
Beirut's southern suburbs overnight, leveling at least six buildings.
One strike destroyed the offices of the Lebanese news station Al
Mayadeen. Israel also killed three Lebanese soldiers in a separate
strike.

Meanwhile, health authorities are warning of a possible cholera outbreak
among Lebanese children amid mass displacement, attacks on the health
system and lack of clean water and food. The 400,000 displaced children
in Lebanon are also at risk of other highly transmissible diseases like
hepatitis A and measles.

In France, President Emmanuel Macron pledged a 100 million euro aid
package for Lebanon as he opened a conference in Paris to rally support
for Lebanon and reiterate calls for a ceasefire.
